There is a retarded amount of oil in my coolant bottle. LIM gasket time? Also, GM or Fel Pro gaskets? Thanks for any help.

I go for the GM LIM gaskets, but that's just my .02

Either LIM or head gaskets. Pray it's LIM.
Neither Fel-Pro or GM. Get aluminum ones like the set I got from WBS. Also replace the coolant elbows while you're at it if you haven't already.

Damn this effing car.

Wouldn't buy gaskets from vendors.
Cheaper elsewhere.

Get the aluminum fel-pro gasket. You'll need coolant elbow as well.

Most "mechanics" that don't know the 3.8 well say that but guranteed 99% it's the crappy plastic GM LIM gaskets gone for a ****!Originally Posted by silvapain
Both the Fel pro and the GM revised gaskets are aluminum.

And it seems most parts guys don't know Dorman makes the elbows.

I educated my local autozone guys about the coolant elbows.

I agree get the aluminum gasket's and go ahead and replace the coolant elbows. Stay away from the plastic based gaskets or you will just have this problem again down the road.
